No I do not think Utah's climate is ideal by any means- I reserve that honor for some place like ahh maybe Maui. However what I do love about Utah is how the weather does such a nice job of being "holiday appropriate." We enjoyed a crisp cool but sunny Thanksgiving- with bare trees, fallen leaves and clear skys. It was perfect for cuddling up in a blanket on the sidelines of a football game or taking a brisk walk on campus to feed some ducks (as you can see below). Just when it was time to break out the Christmas decorations- (just after Thanksgiving seems to be the American way) the snow came and frosted our bare trees and blanketed our rooftops. It just makes our Christmas lights look that much better.
And here you see the advantages of living on a mountain- Our front yard is a perfect sledding hill. I should have taken a picture of the fire hydrant that we used to stop ourselves at the bottom of the hill- to avoid ending up on the icy road which inevitabley would send you spinning down our steep hill. Sledding on our hill adds a whole new dimension of danger to an already dangerous activity. What a thrill though!
